Multiparser

A Deno module for parsing multipart/form-data

tag

Features:

  • Very simple API
  • Upload options
  • Much faster than deno standard library

Documentation

Multiparser version 2 aims to have better performance than V1. Since V1 is dependent on deno@std entirely, which is very unstable. So Multiparser V2 has less dependencies, and it’s much faster!

Usage

// multiParser
import { multiParser, Form, FormFile } from 'https://deno.land/x/multiparser@<version>/mod.ts'

const form = await multiParser(request)

Where:

request: serverRequest is a raw server request coming from Deno http module.

Result:

  • success, return Form
  • fail, return undefined

Form Definition:

interface Form {
  fields: Record<string, string>;
  files: Record<string, FormFile | FormFile[]>;
}

Basic Example:

Suppose your form has two fields, the first one has field name singleStr with text “this is string value” only, and the second field called singleImg with a img file named “singleImg.png”. 

import { Server } from "https://deno.land/std@0.114.0/http/server.ts";
import { multiParser } from 'https://deno.land/x/multiparser@<version>/mod.ts'

const server = new Server({
  addr: ":8000", handler: async (req) => {

    const parsed = await multiParser(req)
    console.log(parsed);


    return new Response(`
    <h3>Deno http module</h3>
    <form action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
      <div>singleStr: <input type="text" name="singleStr" /></div>
      <div>singleImg: <input type="file" name="singleImg"/></div>
      <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
    </form>
  `, {
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "text/html; charset=utf-8"
      }
    })
  }
});


await server.listenAndServe()

After you upload the form, the returned value would be like below: 

form = {
  fields: {
    <string>singleStr: "this is string value"
  },
  files: {
    singleFile: {
      <string>name: "singleFile",
      <string>filename: "singleImg.png",
      <string>contentType: "image/png",
      <number>size: 11837,
      <Uint8Array>content: [...]
    }
  }
}
